Thats it, the controller is where you get the ability to expand system. For example I use a very simple( idiot lites, no read out/screen) controller rated at just above my solar input and I just went pos to pos on the dual batts. A better...
FWIW, in the OP you kept saying" 18 watts ) which as shown in your pic of controller is actually V. 17 volts is low, like shaded or evening time. 18 to 21 is oper range in my exp. Does your controller have a charge indicator aside from the...
Thats a great deal IMO. I dont like folding ( fails where they bend ) .
Other than that its a great package and can be used whereever needed, cabin, boat, truck, car, I like that aspect.
For that size dual zone you will need 200watts of solar and 2 batts or 1 really good one & sun to be able to run standalone ( no vehicle running ) indefinitely.
You could probably throw in some Starlink time & led's at night & still recover full...
I don't think I would spend that much money on one even if I hit the billion dollar luttery by myself, come on seven. Still have a soft spot for the 917S and a Ferrari but I'd bet on a dozer, back and track hoe. That way I could dig a moat and...
FWIW, I use an engel mt45 and in good sunny days it takes a 60watt panel to "keep up" and thats on moderately hot days. add in hotter temps and it takes 68 watts at peak perf to " keep up" when fridge is on a 50% duty cycle ( kinda worst case...
Thats right, for some its not alot of money at all. I guess more to my taste is that if I were spending $200K or more I much prefer to see what WFO or FC187 would produce. Also not impressed with the drivetrain.
Hey, those hoses are gonna rub on the bib, " it'll be fine " ..............
My front axle was full of water, other than that it was business as usual.
I did confirm that over a weeks time, sitting in decent sun, that 150watts of solar & 2 batts...
IMO thats just stupid money, you can build an FJ40 for much less, wether you are building an oem stocker or a rock crawler. There isnt anything great or special about those $250K FJ40's. Now if they had cantilever coil overs and a hybrid...
I am looking to replace frame rail pump and need a smaller aux tank so will probably just use a small 7 psi elec pump to transfer aux to main, that in tank gm pump is rated to run a 6.0 ls ?
Curious what the cost for the parts to put gm pump in stock tank ended up adding to ?
FWIW, when/if you flex that 40 the bib will want to torque, keep an eye on it to see if the alum edges where fenders bolt isnt distorting or the mount bottom...
